What Hadaway & Hadaway does

Hadaway & Hadaway Solicitors LLP is a regional law firm headquartered in North Shields, North East England, operating from a single office at 58 Howard Street. Established in 1901, the firm is structured as a Limited Liability Partnership and has operated continuously for over 125 years, building a multigenerational client base in the local market. The firm employs approximately 14 staff, including partners, solicitors, and support personnel.

The firm provides a diversified portfolio of legal services across eight practice areas: family law, property and conveyancing, wills and probate, personal injury, mental health, business legal, housing, and litigation. Its mental health and children law work is delivered under Law Society panel accreditations, and the firm holds Lexcel and Conveyancing Quality Scheme certifications, supporting its regulated practice areas. The firm augments its client base through targeted tuck-in acquisitions, notably the 2014 Bittermann & Wood will custody transfer, and pursues community engagement via the annual Will Aid program.

The firm's business model is built on traditional fee-for-service legal billing, with the addition of a fixed-fee family law offering introduced in 2014 to broaden accessibility. Client acquisition relies on local reputation, walk-in traffic, referrals, and a basic website with online enquiry forms launched in 2011. There is no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, or remote service infrastructure, and the firm operates without external funding as a self-sustaining partnership.
